My grandfather was Louis Nicolosi (b. 9/24/1863, d. 1/19/1934) He came to this country on November 5, 1882.He was a native of Bisacquino, Sicily and landed at New Orleans. He later met Mary Liuzza (b. 6/1/1874, d. Nov 5, 1898) and they married in the St. Louis Catherial in New Orleans on 4/20/1892. Mary's father was Nunzia Liuzza. From this marriage were born three children: Joseph Nicolosi (b. 12/17/1893, d. 7/18/1958); Frances Nicolosi,(b. Sept 1895, d. 7/25/1933); Nunzia Nicolosi, (b.11/5/1898, d. 1899); His first wife, Mary, died in childbirth with Nunzia. The infant child, Nunzia, died six months later from pneumonia. Louis later married Anna Lungario (b., d. 5/3/1936).From this marriage there were two children: Michael Paul Nicolosi (b. 2/9/1905, d. 12/30/1983) and Mary Agnes Nicolosi (b. 1/18/1911, d. 12/31/1983). Although there is family back in Sicily, contact has been lost with them.There were some Nicolosi cousins in New Orleans, but contact with them has also been lost. Louis was a resident of White Castle, Louisiana in Iberville Parish. He owned a general store there and acquired some property. He was a talented musician and also taught music in New Orleans where he owned a music shop. Most of the descendants of this family live within a 100 miles of New Orleans.
